Re: DOM API Namespaces - help?

Hi Nathan, You need to retrieve the attribute based on the xmlns namespace. Nathan Rixham wrote:

Thanks Jessen, I'm using the DOM API (domdocument) in PHP 5 - and yes pull xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude" from the chapter or indeed any namespaces defined in the root node and store them in a variable. If anybody could shed any light it'd be greatly appreciated.

$xml = '<?xml version="1.0" ?> <chapter xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> <a /> </chapter>'; $dom = new DOMDocument(); $dom->loadXML($xml); $root = $dom->documentElement; $attr = $root->getAttributeNS('http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/', 'xi'); var_dump($attr); Rob

but assuming the above file is: <?xml version="1.0" ?> <chapter xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> <a /> </chapter> how would one retrieve xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"

When you say 'retrieve', what do you really mean? You need to get the namespace value into a PHP variable? I would probably look at the namespace-uri() function in XSLT, but I don't know if you're using XSLT? /Per Jessen, Zürich
